Summary:All 82 people aboard a Russian airliner were killed when it clipped a building and crashed into the ground as it came in to land at a town north-east of Moscow, officials said on August 28. The crash was the worst that the state airline Aeroflot had suffered for eight years. The twin-engined Tupolev Tu-134 was on final approach late on August 27 at Ivanovo, a textile town 250 kilometres (150 miles) from Moscow, when it crashed and disintegrated.
